Most of us know science only through their textual or visual representations. Unfortunately the actual work of doing science remains largely obscure. The making of scientific facts certainly involves much more than reading, thinking and writing. To a large degree it requires meticulous physical experimentation within the material world. At this workshop we will reappraise experiment as a means of historical investigation.

The Office for History of Science welcomes their Hans Rausing Fellows 2016: Lawrence M. Principe, Drew Professor of the Humanities at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore (February and March 2016), and Staffan Müller-Wille, Professor of History of the Life Sciences at Exeter University & University of Lübeck (September until December, 2016).
